- Here's a little vlog of our family fishing excursion down to Gold Beach, Oregon. We hauled in a number of salmon while boating the mouth of the Rogue River, so if you enjoy fishing videos, here you go! (If you don't, not to worry, we'll be back to the usual softroadingthewest content next week!)
I love your camping videos Donald but never get tired of watching people catch fish! Thanks for sharing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this style of video. Good stuff
Great video that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks
Outstanding! Loved it!
Excellent video!!! It's always fun spending time with the family fishing!!!
Great video! Beautiful area!
Clear water, beautiful sky, lots of fish and family time, couldn't ask for more.
You know what’s more fun than fishing? Catching!! That is awesome!
Badass! Love the different vibe!
Whatever you film , we are along for the adventure
Awesome! Great job.
Love this! All part of the adventure. We fish out of this area a lot. Good times!!
Great video, love me some fishing. Good mix up for the channel.
Great episode. Nothing wrong with some family time. Keep it coming.
Great relaxing video 😊📸
Now. MOre of a bucket list, great job must head your way
Great family memories right there!
I loved it! This one is more what my hubby likes to watch, but I liked it was something different and I ended up really enjoying it. That cat in the end. LOL 🤣
And now for something completely different...
Great video.
Awesome. Reminds me of fishing for salmon on Lake Michigan with my dad and grandfather.
Great video sounds fun
Great video of you living life.
WOW and Thnks SO MUCH! Great to see your share and video! Reminds me of my BFF who passed, as he loved fishing the most.. wonderful place and amazing to me how many boats were out there.. but understand as you got some really BIG fish, and so many for 2 days efforts! Congrats and YUMMMMM... always good to see the family as well, so all the BEST to all of you! Cheers :)
That cat at the end.... priceless.
: )
Phish on! Thanks for sharing Donald! I got sea sick watching this one...lol...
That was fun Donald!
Love this video! I've always wanted to see you fishing The Creeks that you camp near. This was a nice video of family having a great time.
Wow, who doesn’t like seeing fish being caught! Very cool trip.
Fishing well done. Don’t apologize about your content, it’s all part of the adventure. Happy to see you finally made it to my home turf. There are plenty of areas to explore here as well.
Loved the fishing! Anything outdoors and nature related is good for your channel! What was missing was the grilling of some salmon steaks or fillets!
Looked like a good time, nice video. 👍🏻😎
Nice video looks like a good time with family out on the river!
Nice! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Uncle Don's looking like the spry young man he is :)
never hurts to have a change of pace.
This is a great video do more like it . Hunting hiking camping fishing just more fun.
Great video Donald. Loved it! Nothing like a bit of combat fishing with all your neighbors around you. Great sunset! Salmon are great fighters and very tasty.
Thanks Stacy!
I feel your still filming softroadingthewest because your still out there even fishing. I still enjoyed this video quit a bit. Thank you Donald and your family. Good job on the fishing too. Keep having fun and safe travels. Cheers
I don't like fish, but love your channel. So didn't have any other choice than to watch the video. And since I occasionally like sailing along with my brother, water and a boat made the fish part up for me 😅.
Great video as always. Nice to see you have a great time with your family.
We enjoyed watching! Funny, we had fresh salmon for dinner tonight, courtesy of my dad. Your video makes me want to go salmon fishing again!
We obviously mostly eat frozen salmon because it gets stocked up, but I always *love* getting to eat it fresh right out of the river. In fact, I always have a little sashimi snack right on the dock when John fillets the fish...no sushi restaurant could ever have fish so fresh it was just swimming an hour or two ago! :-)
Definitely enhances the channel by including related activities, keeps channel from becoming one dimensional; I encourage including more in future- Gracias!
Great video Donald I like the change up its fishing season why not do a video looks like the kids and pops had a blast your guides seem cool kick ass video brother. You enjoy your family time cause that’s year round 🍻
Great episode, keep it up
Salmon is a huge part of living in the PNW, so this fits the channel perfectly in my eyes.
Awesome fishing trip! I went on a Salmon charter out of Chicago a few years back... Nothing as tasty as fish you caught the same morning!
Happy to see someone catching fish! Tried steelhead on the columbia and cowlitz(live in sw wa) had very little luck. Enjoy!!
Nice video! A catch and cook video would of been amazing
Well you caught me recovering from covid so I had a lot of down time to watch videos. Thanks for giving me something fun to watch! George.
Yikes! Hope you get to feeling better soon!
@@softroadingthewest Thanks! I hope so too.
Nothing wrong with fishing thrown in it is all good!
Seeing this really makes me miss fishing with my dad. Looks like you had a great time. Compared to the trout and bass I usually fish for those salmon seem like giants.
like it all ! thank you
I bet that Jason would have loved going along. Isn’t he a good chum of yours? 🤣🤣🤣
LOLOL
It’s all about the outdoors 👍
Man your fishing on my friends boat and your dads building a house where I’ve picked mushrooms. I need to get out of this truck and go home. Great video as always!
It is great to see your family activities Donald, Continuing/Making dad and kids memories are essential. Thanks for sharing.
This was awesome. Great video brother. D😎🇺🇸
Nice vid. I will have to do that some time.
What a wonderful place to site a house (or travel trailer). Hats off to your dad. Living the dream.
PS, a little change up now and again is healthy, for the channel (and you) imo.
The Rogue is one of the few river on the Oregon coast I have not fished. My wife and I had a trip planned plus a jet boat up the river for our anniversary. But then Covid happened. Thanks for sharing.
The jet boats were running this week. We've done it once a few years ago. I was skeptical about the whole thing, but ended up truly enjoying it...the wild part of the river you get to is truly beautiful and inaccessible any other way. Was definitely worth it. :-)
Family time is a good time. Well do Dad
Donald, you need to start throwing a fly rod in your truck when you’re out on these backcountry excursions. The rivers around Oregon are perfect. I’d happily throw my gear in the truck too and join you. Lots to see and do. Stay safe and keep posting the quality content.
I always carry a tenkara rod with me, I just almost never have time. I did fish for about five minutes during my northeastern Oregon trip in June - and I did actually catch a fish - but the footage wasn't great and felt a little out of place in an already-long episode, so I didn't include it. I'll keep looking for more opportunities to work in a bit of fishing here and there. :-)
Great little video! Thanks for sharing. I/we can recognize that not every video can be about getting out in a vehicle and overlanding or camping or softroading :)
Always good being on the coast.
I thought this was a great change of pace from the usual. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for mixing it up and sharing!
You do you and we will watch.
Nice king Lucy, smoked they are delicious
Nice fish. I am jealous. We don’t have salmon here.
Looks like it was a beautiful day on the river. A great way to spend time with your son and daughter, and dad. Good memories 😁
Looks so tasty.
Your dad has a great property!
Great video Donald! Well done as always. As others have commented...a beautifully successful freezer stocking "welcome change up"! Two or three salmon or steelhead fishing films a year would be great. Betting your Dad would be more than willing to accommodate for the more family time return. Keep em coming.
OBTW the good looking senior guy looks a lot like you, must be your Dad?
I'm definitely looking forward to more, and you won't keep Lucie off the boat either.
Diversity = Diversity in what ever you post....it's all good, Donald!!!
Those are some big ones.
Love this! My Grandson is 4, I can see us doing this with a guide in a couple of years!
I grew up bass fishing in the midwest so I was used to fish that put up a good fight. Then I moved to Alaska. Everyone told me what a big a fight with a silver salmon could be but as I was familiar with catching bass I kind of blew it off. Oh boy, was I mistaken. I thought I had hooked a whale that could turn on a dime and swim about 80 mph. It took me totally by surprise what hooking a silver was like. I fought that fish for what seemed like a good 15 minutes and finally I was so tired I just started walking backward up the bank to land what turned out to be about a twelve pound fish. Something I'll never forget.
Haha, that's awesome! :-)
I am not much of a fisherman myself but still enjoyed the video. Personally I think it is totally ok to do (and show) something bit out of the usual line every now and then - it only enrichens the overall content. And I love to eat salmon! Those were some tasty looking specimens you lot got there 👍
Always nice to see something out of the norm... and great to see the kids out there with ya... Looks like a great time had by all and great fishing...cant go wrong there!! Now ya have something to brag about with Primal Outdoors next time you're sitting around the campfire (or propane fire pit) given the results of his recent fishing video LOL... Looking forward to the next adventure, and always.... RESPECT from JUNCTION CITY.... P.S. .... idea for a future video adventure..... take Colin to a backcountry barber shop LOL... just kidding.... have a great week Donald and fam
Great video, nice fish. Up here in ‘Washinslee ‘ we’re not allowed to keep wild salmon like those you guys caught (with an adipose fin). And usually as they did this year one or two days after the fish actually start to show up in numbers they close the river.
We just have to mark on our tag whether it's wild or hatchery. I believe there are seasonal limitations on wild Chinook, sometimes you can take them, sometimes you can't. I know there was wild coho coming up the river at this time also; we didn't hook any, but other boats were reporting catching & releasing them...I believe you can only keep hatchery coho.
Stumbled on your channel a few weeks ago after I had a motorcycle accident and I swear I’ve watched most of your stuff haha
Keep it up inspired me to get out camping and exploring again
That was great, there must be a limit to how many you guys can catch? Enjoy all of your adventures.
Yes, limit is two adult salmon per person per day. No limit on the jacks though, they want them out of the water.
This was great Donald, this is more my type of fishing, lol. With that said I watch your channel for adventures no matter what they are. Though if you don’t cook me salmon on our next adventure I am goin to give this video a thumbs down😂
Jason
Plus, Donald kept his breakfast down. 🤮
😂
If you bring your GMG pellet grill, I'll bring the fish!
🤣👍🏻
Be it overlanding, camping, fishing or just cutting the field, it's all about enjoying our time spent outdoors. Thanks for sharing your time with all of us.
Yay!
That was a great family outing. Glad I took my Dramamine. I almost didn’t ……………….. sorry had to run to the bathroom. Sure wish TH-cam had EnviroVision. Then we could have enjoyed the sea breeze and the smell of the ocean. Thanks for sharing the fun.
Great video Donald love seeing family adventures like this. Thanks for sharing.
Keep on coming l like it 👍
This was such a treat for me since I grew up on the Oregon coast! It was like coming home! You’re building some beautiful memories with your kids! Oh and wow, it’s hard to beat a west coast sunset!
One reason why I want to get into overlanding is to find a remote fishing spot where many haven’t been and camp and fish 🎣
So happy for you all I have only gone Salmon fishing once in the 8th grade in Brooking, OR and I was the only one that catch anything and that was a shark. PS: I GOT SEA SICK. just like Jason did...
John seems like a very good guide, all the other boats were just taking it all in when your family was catching the all the Salmon. Are those King Salmon?
We call them Chinook but yes, AKA king salmon. Over the years I've caught chinook, coho (silver) and steelhead in this river.
How how how did someone beat me to the thumbs up?? What a weekend on the coast! Nice job guys! Ok I gotta finish watching now haha
Haha, I can't believe I drove RIGHT by you Friday evening! Hope you all had a nice time!
Camp, catch, and cooks are my favorite videos. Would love to see you do more !
This is AWESOME! I'd love to see more fishing on your channel.
Crushed it! 🎣🎣 Would love to see more fishing videos. How often do y'all get out on the water?
For me it's usually once a year at most. My dad goes out more frequently. Now that he's moving to Gold Beach - and he does have his own boat - there may be more opportunities in the future, possibly more along the lines of trout fishing on a lake. Personally I'd rather eat trout, though they're not nearly as fun to land as these big boys. :-)
@@softroadingthewest That's awesome! Would love to see more if you get the chance 💯💯
I think I missed the cooking part of this video. . . Or are you waiting to do that with Primal Outdoors? Good video. Just wish we could’ve seen it cooked.
Ran out of time and energy...I barely got this video done as it is, heh. I'll try to plan for a cooking segment next time. :-)
my ex MIL lived or lives in Gold Beach glad you all had a good time there...
last time I was there I BOUGHT a mess of tuna and stayed in the garage canning tuna for 3 days....
@@robaldridge6505 Haha, nice! I actually like tuna better than salmon myself, but I do not have the stomach for open-sea fishing, LOL. I spent four hours on Saturday vacuum-sealing salmon fillets for the freezer. I should probably learn to can, canned salmon is pretty good come to think of it.
Nice fish but even better nice boat. Can you use barbed hooks/treble hooks down there? I ask because we (BC) are required to use a single barbless hook. With that set up you'd never be able to point your rod tip down as you guys were or you lose your fish 50% of the time.
Yes, treble barbed hooks for salmon. And we still lose fish regularly. The technique I was taught (which Colin demonstrates well on his catch) is to reel down to the water then pull the whole rod upward to draw the fish closer. We dive the rod tip down into the water (as my dad demonstrated a few times) when the fish darts under the boat to avoid it tangling in the prop. Single barbless hook...wow. We do have that rule for trout fishing in certain specific streams, but that must make hauling in a salmon quite a challenge!
@@softroadingthewest Yes, tip up to the sky at all times and constant pressure on the line. If the fish turns on you and runs towards the boat they can spit the hook easily. Still fun tho, even if limits and gear, etc are regulated down.
cool vid, nothing wrong with changing it up a bit
Ya coming from a person who lives where you just visited, it is no longer quite or sarine. To many people make that impossible now.
It's great to show a little variety, especially when it's still an activity in the PNW, and with family. I always enjoy the range of subjects you cover including cooking, gear, family, artistic cinematography, etc. BTW, this was still a "road," just a little softer than usual.
This is such an awesome spot...I'd been wanting to camp it for over a year. :-) It was a pleasure to spend the day here!
Nice to see some fishing as a complement to the other content. Looks like a great weekend. I visited Gold Beach and drove inland along the Rogue river a couple of years ago. Beautiful area!
